On a daily basis, I was too tired to see my partially broken furniture and fainting colours of bedroom walls. So on 1st June 2008, I took a wiser decision to fully renovate my ugly looking bedroom. My budget was pretty limited with just Rs.1,50,000 in my hands but expectations were great. So I consulted some reputed Interior Decorators from Kalyan and Dombivali but none were ready to work on such a low budget. I was quite disappointed since I failed miserably to either hire or convince even a single professional interior designer. Further I avoided dealing with some semi-skilled persons as there was a huge risk of poor quality of work from their side and I don't wanted to waste my hard earned money. However I didn't gave up and kept searching and convincing some other professionals until luckly I found one talented and economically affordable guy named 'Arvind Mistry' from Dombivali.

Luckly I got cellphone number of Arvindji and managed to fix a personal meeting at my house. On Sunday early morning Arvindji arrived on time and soon we started discussing my home makeover plans. While showing him my bedroom I said I except a quality eye-catching work from him which fits within my prescribed budget of Rs 1,50,000/- (Approximately $3000 US Dollars).

After a week Arvind Mistry soon started working and within a period of 2 months he completely transformed the look of my bedroom. He kept his words and I was very well satisfied by his quality work.

You better judge the skills of this talented Carpenter cum Interior Designer by watching pictures of my newly renovated bedroom of my Kalyan City Flat.

It gives me immense pleasure to share these pictures with you all.

Trust developed from my earlier experience helped me a lot to take a faster decision this time. Without thinking much more and wasting my precious time I quickly consulted Arvindji regarding a new proposal to renovate my living room (Hall). Soon work started after few days, months passed by and finally took form of following beauty (see photos below).

I'm not disclosing my budget this time as a promise made to Mr. Arvind Mistry and respecting his special request. I'm very sorry :( for keeping this secrecy.

Arvind's Cons : He may be busy on other projects and hence not always available on time for consultation. His projects usually take little more time than prescribed deadline. My living room project was promised to get complete within 2 months but it took him additional 20 days for finishing. He is very selective with new clients and avoids dealing with arrogant, stingy and rude people. He is little bit moody too and avoids working on Sundays and other major Hindu festivals.
